Due in large part to its effortless blend of horror and humor (no mean feat), Clarissa Jacobson and Joshua M. Logan deliver a hysterically dark story that should resonate with anyone who's ever had the displeasure of digesting mystery meat, or experience the mania associated with extreme fandom.

Being a huge fan of the "New French Extreme" I'm always going to jump on anything even remotely related to films like Martyrs, and even though it may be Americanized, writer and director Pascal Laugier is back, with psychological horror film (Incident in a) Ghostland.

Salt and Iron is a waking nightmare of a short, sporting an eerie -- Hammer-esque -- electronic synth style score, and minimal dialogue. In fact, what bit there is, would probably not be missed at all if removed, especially given how much is done with the rest of its aural elements. Visually, the film is dressed with floral serenity, and shot from the perspective of the male gaze. The women are played as seductresses, using their body language to tempt and lure, poetically turning the fisherman into a fish.

If there's anything to be said about George James Fraser's work, it's that each new endeavor demonstrates a marked improvement in various aspects of filmmaking. Salt and Iron is no exception. Here, Fraser weaves a dark-fantasy horror story involving a gruff, drunk, fisherman that happens across the woman of his dreams -- or so he thinks. Without giving too much away, as more of these back-wood-boggy-sirens begin to show up, our delirious drool bucket of a protagonist begins to suspect that perhaps he should have played this one as a catch and release.

Look for the premiere of Salt and Iron at the upcoming Happenstance film festival, June 12th. Certainly a fantastic way to kick off the night.

A quasi-horror comedy that plays off the potential entitlement that comes with being a crowdfunding contributor. It's hilarious, creepy, gory, and kind of meta (this being a crowdfunded film itself) -- I totally dig it

Cargo, unlike other zombie film, does not put its main focus on the zombies - which is a breath of fresh air. They're there, and you'll see them, but they're only a subplot and means to drive the story forward .

Who's watching Oliver tells the story of a mentally unstable loner lost in a life forced upon him. By night Oliver aimlessly wanders the streets and bars on what can only be described as a truly shocking and humiliating killing spree. His only savior and possible way out of a life he is desperate to escape comes in the form of the beautiful Sophia with her sweet eccentricity and naivety to the danger she has put herself in.

Ultimately, your enjoyment of the documentary will hinge on how much you're willing to engage or participate in the discussion, through self reflection of course. More Blood! isn’t about calling into question the character of the individual horror fan, but rather an attempt at understanding our celebration of the genre and all it’s sticky qualities.

Speaking of violent moments, gorehounds will find a lot to satisfy their twisted appetites. Highlights include limb severings, cannibalism, gouging, stabbings, and some good old fashion bludgeoning; and the best part is that nearly all of it comes by way of some very convincing practical effects work.

(Imitation Girl) is an abstract introspective character study, framed with the complexities of the human experience, one that's propelled by Lauren Ashley Carter's stunning breakout performance, and masterfully orchestrated by Natasha Kermani in this, her directorial debut

If you're of the mindset that art - effective art - is characterized by its ability to make those who observe it, thoroughly uncomfortable, then Tristan Clay and Destinie Orndoff, mission accomplished!
